CHAPTER FIFTY TWO: HAZE

NOVA POV

“Who owns this shirt?”

Lena’s voice cracked through the room like a whip, yanking me out of sleep.

“Who. Owns. This. Shirt.”

Lena’s tone had shifted. no longer annoyed, but deadly calm. The kind of calm that only came before a storm.

“Bitch, shut up. It’s too early.”

“It’s past ten. Rise and shine, motherfuckers.”

I stretched lazily, hoping to shake the grogginess out of my limbs. The ache between my thighs hummed with the memory of Grant’s hands, his mouth, his body.

A beautiful but dangerous, sharper, sinful reminder of last night, and the sharp, crueler, sting at my neck where Sandy’s knife had grazed me was a harsher reminder of how that night ended.

Sweet turned sour. Love turned venom

Two truths from one night: pleasure and threat.

“Which shirt?” I muttered, yawning as I pushed off the bed. Halfway to the bathroom, I froze. Then it hit me, cold and heavy: I hadn

    SOLD TO MY BROTHER'S BEST FRIENDCHAPTER ONENALA'S POV"One more order and that's it tonight," Sue said from behind me, patting my back softly in the same motherly affection she'd always shown towards me."I'll try, Sue," I said gently, trying not to sound rude but letting her know it's not as easy as she thought."Cold beer. Table 12 is being dramatic. Nala, that's your cue," Angel, another coworker, announced as she stepped into the kitchen, gently easing her tray full of dirty glasses into the sink.It's Thursday night, but at Sue's it's like a Friday night with the crowd of people waiting to be attended to.I balanced two heavy trays of drinks in my hands like I've always done for the past five years since I turned sixteen. I moved into the suffocating area and gently navigated my way through the crowd focused on watching football and screaming their lungs out over players that didn't know about their existence.In between the tables, I dropped the necessary drinks where they bel

    EPILOGUE: EVER AFTERNOVA POV - ONE YEAR LATERI stood in front of my vanity, staring at the pregnancy test sitting next to my New York Times bestseller plaque.Positive.Again.A smile spread across my face as I placed my hand on my still-flat stomach. Baby number three. Grant was going to lose his mind in the best way possible."Mama! Dad said we need to hurry or we'll be late!" Phoenix's voice carried from downstairs, followed by Asher's. "And Uncle Luca said if we're late, he's making us walk down the aisle in pink!"I laughed, tucking the pregnancy test into my pocket. I'd tell Grant later tonight, after Luca's wedding.Chaos reigned downstairs, Grant was trying to fix Phoenix's bowtie while Asher spun in circles, admiring how his little tux jacket flared out."Boys, please. Stand still for two seconds." Grant's voice held that mix of exasperation and affection that had become his default over the past year.My husband. Still surreal to think about sometimes.The past year has be

Luca's people had made it look like an accident. Carbon monoxide leaked in her hotel room. Her body had been found by housekeeping and there were no signs of foul play or any connections to me.It was clean like I'd promised and somehow I should have felt something like maybe relief, vindication or even victory.But instead, I just felt tired.I'd watched from across the street as the ambulance arrived, watched them wheel out the body bag and the police come and go, marking it down as a tragic accident.Bianca Elena Sonnie, the Mother of my disowned daughter and the woman I'd once loved enough to marry was Dead at forty-eight.And all I felt was empty.Ivin met me in the foyer.

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN: FORGIVENESSNOVA POVGrant had been gone for twelve hours. Twelve hours of me pacing the enormous house, jumping at every sound, watching the boys play with toys they didn't want in a room that felt like a gilded cage.Fuck. I was losing my mind.The boys were in the playroom with one of the nannies Grant had hired; another thing he'd done without asking me. Phoenix had finally stopped crying every few minutes, but only because he'd exhausted himself. Asher had barely spoken since we arrived.I missed Sam. God, I missed him so much it physically hurt.I missed Petals Creek, missed Mabel and the diner and my tiny apartment above the hardware store. Missed the simplicity of Elizabeth Moore's life.But Elizabeth Moore was dead. And Nova Hart was trapped in a mansion with a man who'd just left to commit murder.My phone buzzed. A text from an unknown number: I'm outside the gates. Security won't let me in. Tell them it's okay. - KatieKatie?I ran to the windo

Four hours of Nova looking like she might shatter at any moment.I'd imagined this moment for six years. Finding them. Bringing them home. Finally having my family.I hadn't imagined it would feel like a kidnapping."We're almost there," I said, trying to sound reassuring. Neither boy responded. Phoenix had finally cried himself to sleep against Nova's side, his face red and blotchy. Asher just stared out the window, his small hand gripping Nova's.She wouldn't look at me. Hadn't looked at me since we left that motel.When the estate gates came into view, I felt a surge of pride. This was what I could give them. Security, Luxury and A future without limits.The car rolled up the long driveway, and I watched Asher's eyes widen as the mansion came into view. Good.
